After your Exellency had Made known td the Holy Father s that it was the decided wish of his Majesty. the Emperor and King, that he : shook' en ter into an offensive and defensiveleague with the 'other Powers. of Lilly, as - . bad been declared by M. CHAMPAGNY to .ihe Cardinal CAPItAitA, by a Hotel of the 3d current, .t he dispatch of the said ,Csraiiial has been received, which brought the Original . note of the above Minister. " The Holy Father, after having attentively r , '.ad and.considered the said,document, has ordered Car; • GaBRIELLI, First .Seciretary of State; to tiake known to your Ext.;ellenek his Holiness's semi ments on its contents ; begnining *with that which lams the cardinal, point among all the others. His ' Holiness has seen with pain,. that_ even the .final: proposition therein contained, of the offensive and defensive league, should 'be accompanied with the threat of• depriving him of his 'temporal dominioni in case of his non-compliance. - If worldly ennsi; aerations had at all influenced the conduct of the Holy_ Father, he would from the first have yielded• - to the wishofhisMajesty, and not have expoted him self to suffer so many calamities.; but. the Holy Father is regulatgd alone I:(y•the consideration due to his duty and his conscience both have prevented him from agreeing to the federation, and they equally hint der him from consenting to the offensive ncl defensive. league, which differs but in name ; its nature, how ever, does not except any Prince, tO'whom the Pope, according to the circumstances Qf the times, , might not become an enemy. • " His Holiness feels, moreover; that this , ar- - tide, far - from improving, detraett fret - n . ..11'1'; Situation. In the articles presented to Cardinal DE BAYAN the federation wasja-opqsed n;s -alone against heretics and the .English. , , But this' is cOncfied in general terms, pOintinv '' out no people as an enemy, - yet excluding no Government, no Nation; from the contingency - of; becoming one. • If, then, his' Holi 7 nest declined, from conscientious Molives, to. be .a party to that federation, so is be *eqiially withheld - • from this leaguer The Holy Father, would nut , • merely bind Innis& to a defence, .but to an' agres-. sion . Then would be seen 'theMinister of the God of Peace placing himself in a state of iierpetual, war- .* fare; then would be seen their common father in arms against his children, and the Head of the Church exposing himself, by his ot,vna tqa deprivation of • his spiritual connection with the:Catbolics of those Powers agasinst whieh.. the .leagu...w 94d .make it im+ perative,On, him to aa hostilely. HOW Then can his Holiness shake off his power and natural character, and:sacrifice, as must be the consequence, the- in terest of religion ? ‘" His Holiness, unlike other Princes, is invested with a two-fold character, *namely,. of Sovereign Poritiff, and of temporal Sovereign, and *has given, repeated.evidence that he ,cannot, by virtue of this . seeorrd qualification, enter upon engagenients. which would lead tp results militating against his first andmost • important office,- and injuring the religinn of which he is the Head, ..the Propagator, and the Avenger. • .His Holiness, therefore, cannot enter into any offensive and . defenSve let s ue, which would, by• a permanent and progressive System, drag *him into hostility against all those Powert upon; which his Majesty may think proper to make war ; since ate, . Italian States, now dependent - upon his M.ijesty, can never avoid taking part in such wars. His Holi- • ,aesa would consequently be obliged to become a party in them by virtue of this league. Such an *en gageMent must begin tope ?*d upon by the Pope, from this moment, and against any Catholic Pr' inCe thus waging war against hiM without a motive. - Farther, it must .l waged against all those Powers,. whether, Catholic or not, who e rriay; upon whatever. , grounds, be the enemies of any Italian Prince. . . Thus is the Head of the Church, accustomed as he is to•rule his estates inpeace;driven in a moment to a state of warfare; offensive against hostile po;.vers, and defensive of the Others. This eiagagement'is. too repugnant to the, sacred duties of his Holinets, and too injurious to the interests of religiOn, to be entered into by the plead of that religion. His .Holiness feels that it would be a derelialion of tro-Ath toenter into the leagnei he would announce by such a resolution, his refusal of.any accommodation, any peace with the Emperor,- and would es,.ende:-* dare hostilities against him. fit t a couldit ever be. supposed, that his Holiness slit,: capable of de-; daring war against any Powea He has 16nOeerf eudiaring the most hostile treatment, and is there fore prepared to endure the threaignerd kiss of leis temporal dominions. . " Heaven is witness of the parity of his Moline,ssls intentions, and the world will judge if it was jlissi ,, . ble _to 111117 . . t conceived sO extraordireary a scheme.r.. Ardently desiring to compromiSe, and to be in p'eace. , . with-his Majesty, he manifested in his nute*Cif Btl - 1 of January last, his compliance, as far as it Was possible to comply ; ibis Majesty, however, does not •. practise all those condescensions, Which he might pradise towards tlae Holy See i..he,FersistS bly in demanding what his Hnliness'neither Can' n r will accede to, namely,, in binding him to a war; and to a perpettial.and aggreSsive war, under the pretence of securing the tranquillity, _of Italy. What canitaly. have to.fear, if iiis-101iness should not enter into' the . proposed league ?• , Surrounded as the Papal Dominions are by those of his Majesty, no rational tear could be entertained bat-of the ports; yet Ins Holiness having 6.t. - ..!.re4 shut them during the present war against' the cue lilies of France, and to guard the coast, he thus ,JO. ! posed to contribute as tar as„,was in bp power, with , our betraying his sacred duties, to_ the security :and.
